CANADA - Crossroads drops McVety over controversial remarks

2011-03-02

(http://www.christianweek.org)TORONTO, ON - Crossroads Television System (CTS) has dropped Charles McVety's “Word TV" program.

CTS cancelled the program after the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) found the station had violated broadcast codes for statements made by McVety, president of Canada Christian College, about Toronto's gay pride parade and Ontario's proposed sex education curriculum.

The CBSC ruled that while McVety had the right to publicly “object" to homosexuality and call it sinful, some of his specific comments had misstated or misrepresented facts.

ChristianWeek attempted to contact McVety but he was unavailable for comment.

McVety responded to the CBSC ruling through the media, commenting, “I don't know how they want me to talk. I thought I lived in a free, democratic country and that political censorship was reserved for totalitarian regimes."

Quotes
My favorite place in the world is Colorado. I spent every summer there growing up and my family still has a cabin there. I love to hike (up to 12,000 ft peaks), bike, and raft in the mountains, so it is like heaven to me there. Biggest Challenge? My biggest challenge is being patient. I am very efficient and quite a perfectionist, so waiting does not come easily to me. Best Advice? Treat others as you would want to be treated, and never compromise what you know is right. Goals?To be a successful performer who is able to influence people for good.

Opinion
Recognising Reality - Grieve that God is cursed for every catastrophe, but seldom praised for His wonderful Creation. Lament that God makes the news headlines only when man mocks His power or questions His goodness, but tens-of-thousands of God’s acts of mercy, grace, protection, provision and patience receive no headlines. Grieve that the Name of the only righteous Man who ever walked the earth is used as a swear word on T.V. screens and in cinemas across the world. Grieve that God is blasphemed by the very same people who question why God does not restrain the consequences of their own rebellious actions
